100
write answer in exponential notation:
4^2xx4^2
The bases are the same, so we add the exponents
4^4

((1/3)^6)^2
Double exponents! We multiply.
(1/3)^12
300
Simplify:
(11^5)/ (11^7)
(11^5)/ (11^7)=11^-2 = (1/11^2) = 1/121

Evaluate or Compute
2^5

7^1 xx 7^4 xx 7^5
The bases are the same, so we can add the exponents
7^(1+4+5) =7^10
400
What number does this represent?
10^-2
10^-2 = 1/(10^2) = 1/100 = 0.01

What ingredients do you need to make a Snickle?
A snickers bar and a pickle.

What is the difference between "expand" and "compute" ?
You can explain or show with an example
Expand means write out. (2 x 2 x 2)
Compute means give the final answer (8).
500
State an explanation for when you should multiply the exponents or when you should add them.
When the bases are the same, and you are multiplying, add the exponents.
When you have only one base, and you have double exponents, multiply.
500
State an explanation for when you should multiply the exponents or when you should create a fraction.
You subtract exponents when the bases are the same and you are dividing.
You create a fraction when you have a negative exponent (you find the reciprocal!)
